Chien-Ming Wang: 8 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K (Win)
I remember just last year at our fantasy draft some people were giggling over Chien-Ming Wang’s last name. I would roll my eyes and say it’s not pronounced like THAT. Then another round of giggles. *Sigh* It’s 2007 now and everyone knows his name.
Anyway, Wang came pretty dang close to a perfect game but left a changeup pitch “high” (his words) and Ben Broussard took it deep for the Mariner’s only run.
It was Wang’s first start since being put on the disabled list for a strained right hamstring.
In other Yankee news, it sounds like their beleaguered pitching staff will be getting more help. The Rocket has decided to join them in a one-year deal.
